What are Claude Opus 4.7's pricing and token costs?

Claude Opus 4.7 (April 2026) pricing: $5 per million input tokens, $25 per million output tokens—consistent across Claude Platform, Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry.

Cost analysis for Zilliz Cloud RAG:

Typical usage patterns:

• Indexing: primarily input tokens (documents → embeddings)
• Retrieval: mix of input (queries) and output (responses)
• Agentic optimization: higher output tokens from multi-step reasoning

Cost optimization strategies:

1. Task budgets – Set maximum spend per agentic RAG job, forcing efficiency
2. Batch indexing – Lower cost-per-document for large-scale ingest
3. Embedding caching – Reuse embeddings for similar documents
4. Efficient prompting – Reduce output verbosity through careful prompt design

ROI consideration: While Opus 4.7 costs more per token than smaller models, autonomous Zilliz Cloud workflows complete faster with fewer human cycles, often resulting in lower total cost-per-outcome.

Example: Building a Zilliz RAG system. Opus 4.7 with task budgets completes autonomously; a cheaper model requires 5 cycles of manual tuning. Total Opus 4.7 spend is often lower despite per-token costs.

For Zilliz Cloud customers, budget your Opus 4.7 spend by estimating tokens per indexing/optimization task, then use task budgets to enforce cost discipline.
